Title: 250 Super Sprint predictions? Post by: vicpaddler on May 24, 2006, 06:55:52 PM Looks like the schedule is out for the Super Sprints in Victoria this weekend. Anyone want to take a shot at predicting the finals?

Post by: Diesel on May 25, 2006, 10:20:35 PM I would say it's going to be a hard guess, as there alot of new faces on the water, this season...This will be the time, to see what everyone is made of this time around.With saying that, i'm on a team, that just started this yr., but we have quite a few experienced paddlers, on board..I wish everyone luck, this sunday, and in future races.

Title: Re: 250 Super Sprint predictions? Post by: Magnum on May 29, 2006, 07:51:39 AM So what happened? Besides GD coming in first place?? We (Dragonauts) were neck-in-neck with the GD's in the final race when our steering oar rope broke about 50 metres short of the finish line and we lost control, ending up in 4th place. As they say SH#T happens sometimes. Our steersman made a very gallant effort to keep us on track, wacking his shins in the process. We did manage to cross the finish line to roaring cheers from the crowds on the dock. Title: Re: 250 Super Sprint predictions? Post by: Steamrollers Moaner on May 29, 2006, 10:46:58 AM Ok... so we now know the following.
1st place - GD 2nd place - ?? 3rd place - ?? 4th place - Dragonauts. Can someone else fill in the blanks?? Title: Re: 250 Super Sprint predictions?

Post by: woodsman on May 29, 2006, 11:28:06 PM It was a great event! It also was unfortunate about the last race....It was awesome at the middle, where I was watching, but, as was said, **** happens. The Dragonauts are back in good form, at least! Still, GD's are awesome.
I believe this event will grow and grow...first taste of how all do for the rest of the season? By Nanaimo many teams will be on the way....by Victoria, many teams will be peaking. As to the idiot "Guido" I suggest you check out the province.....atlases are common, or you could check Google Earth....sorry you do not know geography?....and Vancouver is not central...Alcan is but a training ground.

Title: Re: 250 Super Sprint predictions? Post by: vicpaddler on June 07, 2006, 06:14:50 AM The race pictures have a real angle to them. GD's were ahead from the start. It was close but they were definitely ahead.
